2013 All-Star Game: West 143, East 138 (Final)

Final: West 143, East 138

Los Angeles Clippers star Chris Paul registered 20 points, 15 assists and fourth steal, helping the West hold off the East and earning the game’s MVP award. Paul spent most of the game setting up his teammates for a series of dunks before scoring nine points — including a pair of 3-pointers — over the final 3:31.

Paul was aided by Kevin Durant, who scored a game-high 30 points, and Clippers teammate Blake Griffin, who scored 19 points, the vast majority of which came on dunks.

Spurs stars Tim Duncan and Tony Parker had quieter nights in reserve. Parker had a strong second half to finish with 13 points and five assists. Duncan, playing in his 14th All-Star Game, scored two points in eight minutes. Not surprisingly, the basket — a two-handed dunk — was set up by Paul.

Third quarter: West 108, East 104

It took him more than a half, but Tim Duncan finally scratched the scorecard with a two-handed dunk off a pick-and-roll with Chris Paul. It was one of 13 assists Paul has collected to so far, giving him an outside chance of challenging Magic Johnson’s All-Star record of 22.

Tony Parker also picked up the pace, draining a 3-pointer while bumping his totals up to nine points and four assists.

Halftime: West 69, East 65

It took a bit, but the 2013 All-Star Game highlight reel finally picked up in the second quarter, with both teams approaching 40 points. Neither is shooting all that well from 3-point range — combined: 6 for 29 — but the dunks are raining down.

Early MVP candidates are the East’s Dwyane Wade with 12 points and six assists, and the West’s Kevin Durant with 19 points to lead all players.

It’s been a relatively quiet night for the Spurs’ two representatives, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. Parker has four points and two assists in 10 minutes, although he did draw a good response from the crowd for dribbling through Chris Bosh’s legs, Manu Ginobili style.

Duncan, meanwhile, has three rebounds and no points in five minutes, fewer than any player on either team but the West’s David Lee.

First quarter: West 31, East 26

How do you know it’s an All-Star Game?

Not only is Tim Duncan wearing neon green shoes, his first — and so far only — shot attempt was 3-pointer.

Duncan has yet to score in his 14th All-Star appearance, but he’s pulled down three rebounds and contested multiple shots around the rim at Houston’s Toyota Center. He and teammate Tony Parker checked in with just under seven minutes left in the quarter. Parker, playing in his fifth All-Star Game has two points and a pair of assists.

The usual suspects lead in scoring: Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James with seven points for the East, while Kevin Durant has seven for the West. James has provided several highlight dunks, one coming from an off-the-backboard assist from teammate Dwyane Wade.
